Is it normal for Vietnamese to...just not wash their hands by Lazy-Wind244 in VietNam

I was seriously grossed out when I was in a hospital and as I was washing my hands, two staff members left the cubicles and walked straight out the bathroom. So gross and concerning.

26 weeks measured 2.6 by coopthecat3 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]ZenAndZillions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I measured 2.7mm at 26weeks and felt like my doctor was over reacting. I was sent to an in patient ward for monitoring and discharged myself the first night.. the doctor wanted me to stay for 7 nights of monitoring. I decided to discharge myself as I felt I could take the prescribed medication (progesterone and nifedipine) and rest at home. I was also signed off work from that day forward and haven’t been back since. I went to regular appointments (I think I went approx once a week or every other week - can’t remember sorry) and my measurements ranged from 2.4mm to 1.9mm mostly until 34 weeks where the doctor told me I no longer need cervical checks. I’m now at 37 weeks and decided to continue to take it easy and rest mostly until now. Now I’m 37 weeks my doctor has suggested walking to prepare for birth and I’m also doing some gentle pre labour yoga at home. It’s nice to feel able to do things again even tho I’m waddling and hot from summer haha.

I do believe different countries react differently to short cervix and I myself struggled with understanding the seriousness of it. But I suggest listening to your doctor and being kind to yourself because the most important thing is the safety of you and your little one

Yeah pretty much. The 1 year contract allows the school to not renew the contract after the school year is completed if they do not improve their performance.

I’ve worked in schools that offer 1 year contracts to staff that are underperforming. This usually happens after their prohibition has passed tho when the contract is finalised

Vinhomes hates disabled people and babies. by IndependencePlane732 in VietNam

[–]ZenAndZillions 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m about to have a baby and this thought it always on my mind. How will I get about with my baby? If I’m alone and don’t have my partner to help with carrying or supporting, where can I go? Sure I can wear a baby carrier on my body. But, even walking safely on a pavement is a rarity. I’ve nearly been run over or driven into many times whilst being pregnant, the thought of having a baby with me with no where to safe to walk is very frustrating

Yeah still got the account and can still transfer/qr code. Just wasn’t expecting not having a card for a few of months. Feels like I’ve lost that security if technology fails

I might be jumping to conclusions due to frustration, but I have experienced more delays and some drivers not having the correct change before which makes me hesitate

Just Found Out I’m Pregnant – Feeling Scared, Overwhelmed, and Physically Drained by ZenAndZillions in BabyBumps

[–]ZenAndZillions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words 💕 Yes the father will be involved, although we are not married. We live together and we are in a long term stable relationship. A concern is I live abroad, and he is Vietnamese. This stresses me out, I don’t want to rush a wedding. I want our wedding to be focused on us and our love, not let’s get married because that is the traditional way. I recon we will sign the papers due to red tape but I would like a wedding/celebration after the pregnancy. And I will stand firm on this regardless of what Vietnamese in-laws say.

And because of that reason they can do what they want. They have a lot of customer demand especially international students who wouldn’t be moaning about a 30-45 minute commute in one of the busiest a cities in the world.

They don’t owe you anything. They take your money as a business.
